The problem of robust stabilization for a class of uncertain networked control systems （NCSs） with nonlinearities satisfying a given sector condition is investigated in this paper. By introducing a new model of NCSs with parameter uncertainty, network-induced delay, nonlinearity and data packet dropout in the transmission, a strict linear matrix inequality （LMI） criterion is proposed for robust stabilization of the uncertain nonlinear NCSs based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The maximum allowable transfer interval （MATI） can be derived by solving the feasibility problem of the corresponding LMI. Some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm.
This paper is concerned with the problem of robust stability analysis for networked control systems （NCSs）. A new NCS model is proposed under consideration of both the network-induced delay and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties appearing in NCSs are norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying. The conventional method and the descriptor system method are used to obtain maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） guaranteeing robust stability and stability of the NCSs, respectively, where the stability criteria are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. And the MADB can be derived by solving the feasibility problem of the corresponding LMI. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
By extending the system's state variables,a novel predictive functional controller has been developed.The structure of this controller is similar to that of classical proportional integral(PI)optimal controller and in-cludes a control block that can perform a feed-forward control of future P-step set points.It considers both the state variables and the output errors in its cost function,which results in enhanced control performance compared with traditional state space predictive functional control(TSSPFC)methods that consider only the predictive output er-rors.The predictive functional controller(PFC)has been compared with TSSPFC in terms of tracking ability,dis-turbance rejection,and also based on its application to heavy oil coking equipment.The results obtained show the effectiveness of the controller.
